TOOTING MY OWN HORN SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO
I lived in that rat-hole called Niger from 1962-1964 as an early Peace Corps Volunteer. It was my experience that people there would generally say anything that you wanted to hear, just to keep you, as a "pink" person happy. So, obviously, Wilson heard what he wanted to hear, and no more.

Also, I would like to know if Wilson is fluent in French (the official language of Niger) and if not in French, how about Djerma, Haussa, or Fulani? Whom did he actually talk to? And where was the station "chief" or CIA cover person when all this was going on? When I was there the CIA person spent more time screwing the natives than anything else (though he was a nice, friendly guy who ran great parties for his friends.)
